Background music for restaurants, from lunch to the late table
FreqVault is a curated background music service for restaurants. You choose an experience for each room, set day-parts once (lunch, dinner, late), and play it from a browser on the device already connected to your speakers. It costs €25 per location per month or €275 per location per year (excl. VAT), with a 7-day free trial, no credit card needed at sign-up.
Music that follows service, not a single loop
A restaurant at half past twelve is not the same room at half past nine. Lunch has its own pace: tables turn, conversation is quick, the room needs life without noise. Dinner slows down. Late tables want something warmer, with a little more depth. One playlist on repeat can't do all three, and nobody on the floor has time to keep changing it.
FreqVault is built around that shift. Experiences are made for a kind of room, not pulled from the charts. Mood, tempo and genre move with the time of day, so the music changes with service instead of fighting it. The result is the same sound standard every hour, from opening to close, without anyone touching the speakers.
Owners get a consistent room. Managers get one less thing to think about during a busy shift.
Set your day-parts once
You set the shape of your day in the dashboard once, and the schedule takes it from there.
An example restaurant day
Every track in an experience is tagged for mood, energy, BPM and genre. The schedule adds the time of day. Here is how a day can look:
| Time | Day-part | Sound | Tempo |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11:00–14:00 | Late morning / lunch | Nu-jazz · soul · bossa | 88–102 BPM |
| 14:00–18:00 | Afternoon | Disco · nu-disco · funk | 102–118 BPM |
| 18:00–20:30 | Early dinner | Balearic · downtempo · organic house | 98–112 BPM |
| 20:30–23:00 | Dinner and late tables | Deep house · lounge · melodic | 110–120 BPM |
Your restaurant may open later, close earlier or run a quiet afternoon. Set the day-parts to match your hours, and the music follows them every day without a reminder.
Why scheduling matters on a busy floor
When music is left to whoever is closest to the speaker, it drifts: too loud at lunch, the wrong mood at dinner, the same few songs every night. A schedule removes that. Your team serves; the music keeps to the plan you set.
One tab for the dining room, terrace and bar
Zones per room
Many restaurants are several rooms at once: a dining room, a terrace, a bar. With FreqVault, each space can be its own zone, with its own experience and its own schedule. The terrace can stay bright into the evening while the dining room settles down. Zones per room are included in the plan.

No extra hardware
The FreqVault player runs in a browser on the device already wired to your speakers. There is no player box to buy and install. Pick the experience, set the mood and let the schedule do the rest.
The music streams in real time, so the player needs a stable internet connection. We recommend a dedicated connection of at least 5 Mbps. It doesn't play offline.

Pricing: €25 per location per month or €275 per year
One plan, location by location: €25 per location per month or €275 per location per year. Prices exclude applicable VAT.

- A certificate PDF for each location, from the dashboard
Monthly or yearly; cancel any time, effective at the end of the paid period. Cancel from Dashboard → Billing, and you keep access until then.
What the certificate shows
Each location gets a certificate PDF, downloaded from the dashboard. It names the location and the period of your FreqVault subscription, and links to a public verification page, so anyone who needs to can check that the subscription is active. It applies only to music played through the FreqVault player. Music from another source, such as a radio or a personal streaming account, is outside the certificate.
More than one restaurant
Running several restaurants? You can run one sound across every site or give each its own character. Each location has its own zones, schedule and certificate, all in one dashboard, and each plays in its own local time. For several sites, talk to our team at sales@freqvault.io.
How to start
- Register your location. Add its name, address and opening hours. Each location is its own subscription line: €25 a month or €275 a year.
- Choose the experiences. Pick an experience for each zone and set the day-parts once.
- Open the player. Run it in a browser on the device connected to your speakers. The certificate for the location is in your dashboard.
That's the setup. From then on, the schedule runs your music from lunch to the late table.
